Interventions of the Institute for Contemporary Art at the Exhibition pavilion
Utopia as a space of thought, the monument as a space of memory: art beyond the museum and
gallery negotiating these two imaginary spaces plays an important role in the history of steirischer
herbst, but has increasingly fallen into disrepute. Last year, the two-stage exhibition project
“Utopia and Monument” above all examined the privatisation of the public space. This year it
focuses on the question as to how art for public space is exposed to the gaze of others but at the
same time needs their presence: what transfers, what interventions, but also what disappearances
insist on sharing common space?
How do artists deal with this situation of their exposure (as a political act?), how do they react to
the expectations and various interests with which they are confronted? What specific abilities and
skills do they possess with regard to designing memorials, sculptures and monuments – that is to
say, interventions intended to create public effect, a political terrain of common affairs? What
networks and proven co-operations do they avail themselves of? Do they need cunning PR
strategies to make their own work visible in public space in the first place?
This exhibition for the public space with its commissioned works becomes an experiment
exploring the question whether the public space can still offer the “space of appearance”, as
politically organised space, as described by Hannah Arendt. The exhibition covers a wide range of
works from collective models and changes in the psycho-geographical sphere all the way to work;
work in which artistic authorship is reduced to a script, with the work being carried out by
someone else.

Biographies
Sabine Breitwieser (A)
Sabine Breitwieser is currently a freelance curator living in Vienna and will be starting her new job as Chief Curator of
the Department for Media and Performance Art at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in October 2010. For
steirischer herbst 2009 and 2010 she has curated “Utopia and Monument”, a two-part exhibition for public space. Her
major themed exhibition “Modernologies”, with more than thirty artistic contributions on the subject of modernity
and modernism, was shown at the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) in 2009, as was the exhibition
“Welches Leben? Zwischen Beruf und Berufung”, that Breitwieser curated as part of the “Curators’ Project” of the
Academy of Visual Arts in Vienna. She sits on numerous international juries and is secretary and treasurer on the
board of CIMAM – the international committee of ICOM (International Council of Museums) for museums and
collections of modern and contemporary art (www.cimam.org).
From 1988 until the end of 2007 Sabine Breitwieser was (founding) director and the curator of the Generali
Foundation in Vienna for which she has built up a widely acclaimed contemporary art collection of more than 2000
works and an important archive of about 200 international artists. From 2003 through 2004 she was Researcher/CoCurator of International 04. Liverpool Biennial 2004, and she was active as one of the three moderators of the
“Museums Initiative Policy 2007/2008“ launched by the federal Ministry for Education, Arts and Culture in Austria.
Sabine Breitwieser has curated and directed more than 80 exhibitions, has edited numerous publications and is the
author of many texts on contemporary art as well as on museum management. Among her last publications is
“Modernologies“ for the eponymous catalogue (Actar Barcelona, 2009) and an interview conducted by André
Rottmann on “Artists Artists“ in Texte zur Kunst (Berlin, 2008). Her essay “Two Times Four: Isa Genzken’s Hi-Fi Series“ is
published in the volume on Isa Genzken in the Phaidon-series (London-New York 2006) and “Art and Artists: Please
wait for a Commission“ is published in the catalogue of the International 04 Liverpool Biennial 2004.
